Phys.org / Sramcbled wrods: The real reason you can still read jumbled text
You've probably seen it on social media before: a paragraph of scrambled text that looks like nonsense at first glance, yet somehow you can read it with surprising ease.
Phys.org / Drone radar reveals buried glaciers on Earth, guiding the search for water on Mars
Understanding how to explore hidden glaciers on Mars begins not in a laboratory, but in remote field camps across Alaska and Wyoming.
Medical Xpress / You can't hear it, yet this sound may explain paranormal experiences
Infrasound is very low-frequency sound, below 20 Hertz (Hz), which humans typically can't hear. It can come from natural sources like storms, or from anthropogenic sources like traffic. Some animals use it to communicate, ...
Phys.org / Why do polar bears approach human infrastructure? The answer is more complex than we thought
Polar bears are intensely curious animals. That curiosity often brings them into contact with people and can put both species at risk from one another.
Phys.org / How sulfur oxidation states shape the behavior of sugar-based surfactant molecules
Sugar-based amphiphilic molecules, which contain a hydrophilic sugar headgroup and a hydrophobic segment such as an alkyl chain, can assemble in water depending on their concentration, forming hydrophobic microenvironments ...
Tech Xplore / Water-based zinc batteries tackle a barrier that has long blocked cheap, stable renewable energy storage
Renewable energy technologies, such as solar cells and wind turbines, are becoming increasingly widespread in many countries worldwide. Reliably storing the electricity produced by these devices, so that it can be used later ...
Phys.org / US–Indian space mission maps extreme subsidence in Mexico City
One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of the fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO ...
Medical Xpress / High-intensity exercise after breast cancer surgery may help speed recovery
After breast cancer surgery, many women are told to limit how much—and how soon—they exercise.
Phys.org / Americans care more about future generations than many think—and that gap could matter for policy
Caring about future generations means believing that people who will live decades or centuries from now deserve ethical consideration. In practice, that means taking their interests into account when making all kinds of decisions ...
Tech Xplore / Ultralight carbon fiber lattices achieve aluminum-level performance at a fraction of the weight
Researchers at Seoul National University have developed a new class of ultralight structural materials that combine the load-bearing strength of engineering materials with the weight of foam. Using a method called 3D node ...
Phys.org / Researchers create DNA 'nano-rings' to control viral cell proteins
Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new nanoscale tool that can capture and precisely position some of the most important proteins in the human ...
Medical Xpress / Years before pregnancy, routine bloodwork may already signal which women will face one of its riskiest complications
Small abnormalities in blood sugar, blood lipids and inflammation several years before pregnancy are linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy and preeclampsia, according to a study from Karolinska ...
